Foam party

On Monday night, we went to see some an acrobatics show that was put on for San Mateo. There were people dressed in white with stilts, running around throwing petals in the air. They put on a show at the town hall and afterwards pulled out a massive hose/tube and pumped out all this foam. This is a photo of Mel and Stefano (Em´s new flatmate) frolicking in the foam. Some guy dragged his poor little dog into the foam and because there was so much of it the creature disappeared and reappeared some time later all white and soapy and miserable. Then we went to see the toro de fuego, which is a guy dressed in a bull outfit with fireworks spouting from his suit. It´s supposed to be really dangerous because he runs through the crowds and often people catch on fire or get burnt, so they have the ambulance and firemen stationed nearby but the one we saw was very disappointing. No one caught alight, no one got hurt.
